【答案】How Cao Chong Had the Elephant Weighed

Cao Cao was very glad to have received an elephant as a present. He wanted to know how heavy the elephant was, but there was no scale (秤) big enough to weigh such a huge creature.

One day, Cao Chong said to his father. “I’ve found a way to weigh the elephant.” Cao Chong asked a man to lead the elephant onto a boat. When the boat stopped sinking, the man drew a line along on the boat side. After the elephant was led away, Cao Chong had some men put stones into the boat until the water reached the line.

Cao Chong asked the men to weigh each stone from the boat and put down the number.

“Add up all the numbers and we will know the weight of the elephant”Cao Chong said to his father with kind of pride.

【解析】【亮点说明】这篇习作的层次清晰，内容饱满，表达流畅。文中使用了非常好的短语，例如be glad to，want to do，such a huge creature，ask sb. to do sth.，stop doing，on the boat side，put down，add up等。而He wanted to know how heavy the elephant was, but there was no scale (秤) big enough to weigh such a huge creature./ When the boat stopped sinking, the man drew a line along on the boat side. / After the elephant was led away, Cao Chong had some men put stones into the boat until the water reached the line.等多种从句句式的运用更是为文章增色不少。
